Whats the point of this option?

If I add some html nothing happens.

For example:
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <title>Cafe Menu</title>
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="menu">
      <header>
        <h1>CAMPER CAFE</h1>
        <p class="established">Est. 2020</p>

Nothing happens. Whats the purpose of that option?
 
it's literally what the word says...blocks of "Code"
it was added as a feature in phpBB and it's literally a thing now in pretty much all forum softwares...
people just use it to paste blocks of code inside a box to keep it neatly distinguished in their post

I didn't understand any of that.
 
I didn't understand any of that.
back in the early days of forum software development the open source phpBB was the to go forum software used by all
and suggestions and code snippets were common in threads/posts which then came the idea of using a box for the "code" itself
which then was reused for other features as in "reply" or "quote" as used in this very forum software "xenforo" which is a knock off of vBulletin another forum software

PS: Don't ask me to dumb this one down because I have no idea how to translate this answer into "potatoes" :p :p :p
